I said be brief, but not like this. what degrees did you get & what do you mean by 'manufacturing jobs'? |
My degree is in Wildlife and Fisheries Management (I've applied to 1000 of wildlife jobs with zero luck except a potential part time job offer from Florida which I had to turn down considering I couldn't move to Florida for a part time job; I need to move to Alaska or Canada for a chance at a decent wildlife job)
Manufacturing jobs at Flextronics and Jabil. Flextronics is mainly Cisco but they have shipped most of their Cisco business to another Flextronics factory overseas. Jabil was LCD screens repair for Dell which they closed the factory down in Round Rock. I worked at Flextronics first doing testing on personal computer motherboards, then testing Cisco server board, then BGA operator (take chips off the boards), then ECN operator which takes smaller components off boards upgrading them , etc (soldering which eventually lead to multiple nose bleeds and quitting due to not wanting to inhale lead fumes for $10 a hour). I am now back at Flextronics again after Jabil shut down and I am testing Cisco server boards (ICT which is the first test right after the boards are made) before brackets puts more stuff on the board (like heatsinks) and further testing. (SMT line -> X-ray -> Add On -> ICT -> Brackets -> Pre2Corner/more testing -> Final Inspection -> Pack is the usual flow process of most boards but boards can skip various processes depending on the board) I get paid under 11 a hour working 3rd shift (that is with the off shift "bonus"). Basically, I need to find a better job.
